HINT!….. Not Loewy!

HINT… were transporting families sometimes!

Good guess… but no! HINT !…. What can be applied to a new car once the design has been approved and assembled?
-
You ‘nailed it’ with ‘excess chrome’!, However, the second item wasn’t a grille.… Although we do know that for the Avanti project Loewy did not want to see a conventional grille on the car. Any other thoughts on that second item of ‘applied elegance’ ??

Call Dave Thibeault…his tel # is… 978 897 3158

What are two good examples of what Raymond Loewy considered to be “applied elegance” in car design ? (Styling treatments he strongly disliked)
-
Concerning the (then) continuing development of the Studebaker Avanti body design, what was Raymond Loewy speaking of when he referred to “space trading” ?
-
Regarding designing the Studebaker Avanti… Which member of the design team commented about doing this work in the New York office…..”Too many friends reach you too easily in this office… It’s fine, but we had to get the job done” ? 1) John Ebstein….2) Robert Andrews…. 3) Thomas Kellogg…..or…..4) Raymond Loewy

This is a very good deal… I priced a new Hurst Comp Plus shifter & kit for a Studebaker Avanti five years ago, and was told $700-$800 (just for the shifter & kit)

If the bolt is cinched up tight, there will be no movement between upper pin and the king plan.

Truth is ‘63-‘85 Avanti air conditioning systems really can’t compare with newer vehicles A/C.., mainly because of (I believe) the lack of adjustable vents built into the upper dashboard.
